Coach Meyers

September 12, 2008

Coach Don Meyer has released this statement this afternoon: It is now 10 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 12, 2008. My trauma surgeon David Strand from Avera McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, just told me they found carcinoid cancer in my liver and small bowels. The cancer was discovered during emergency surgery after my wreck on Sept. 5, 2008. What's great about this is I would not have known about the cancer had I not had the wreck. God blessed me with one thing we all need, which is truth. I can now fight with all of my ability. What I now ask is that everybody who believes in God would praise him for this discovery and pray to him to give me the strength, patience and peace to be a man of God on this journey. I am looking forward to coaching this season and am forever thankful to my team, who saved my life, and the coaching staff who has stepped up to the plate.
